\(G\)-fibrant extensions and twisted products (Q5963964)

The first author proved that for any closed subgroup \(H\) of a compact metrisable group \(G\), the quotient space \(G/H\) is a \(G\)-fibrant [Topology Appl. 157, No. 17, 2604--2612 (2010; Zbl 1202.54014)]. In the paper under review, the authors obtain a generalization of this result. The main result of the paper states that every \(G\)-space over \(G/H\), which means a \(G\)-map \(p: E\to G/H\), admits a \(G\)-fibant extension over \(G/H\). The authors apply the main result to show that the twisted product functor \(G\times_H-\) takes \(H\)-fibrant extensions to \(G\)-fibrant extensions. This implies that if \(S\) is an \(H\)-fibrant space, then \(G\times_H S\) is a \(G\)-fibrant space.
